people.

THE rain comes just in the nick OF
time to be most useful. 1t comes,
too, in copious measures. Indeed
that is the only fault one could find
it is little too copious for greatest
useful or comfort. Yesterday there
fell three and tifty-fve hundredths
inches in few hours. Last evening
between five and six o'clock the
downpour was in even greater volume
than that. Part OF the time it rained
probably at the rate of two
inches an hour. Nor does it appear
tonight as ii the storm was over.
Seldom has the rain come more op-
portunely than during the portion OF
this season already passed. When the
first downfalls came SO early in the
autumn there was reason 10 fear such
a phenomenon might prove untimely.
But step by step as We advanced the
precipitations have come when moist
ure was needed, and now We stand at
the turn OF the year with the ground
soaked no more need of rain for six
weeks or more to come, and no need
OF more than very moderate amount
hereafter this season. Ii we get,
during the next four months, such
visitations in this respect as VIC have
had in the past three, this will be one
of the very best years ever
known III this section. AS the
late rains are much more
certain hereabouts than those which
are regarded as normal in the first
half OF the season, we may look with
perfect confidence to get all the moist
ure we shall need. But, for that mat
ter, it is becoming universally ac-
cepted theory in this end of the State
that lack Of rainfall is thing of the
past. We always get as much as is
in any way desirable.

County TAXES are now delinquent
and the negligent will have to pay five
per cent more than the original sum to
settle hereafter. These have until the
end of February to liquidate. The
amount outstanding is not great. The
total levy was for $3.50, 900, and OF
this over 81 ,050,OOO is paid in. The
last two or three days there were over
s4OO 900 paid in. OF the 100000 out
standing a large part will be paid in
before the list goes to sale. Much OF
it is what is known as the Unknown
owner LIST. Some of it will be
found to be double assessments.
These facts speak volumes for the sol
vency OF this community. The city
tax-roll called for 1861 600, all Of
which was paid in excepting about
$4,000. OF the 81, ,250,0 600 in the
State and county roll only about $780,
600 is likely to prove delinquent.
This withdrawal of over 81 800, 900
for tax purposes without embarrass-
ing property holders indicates very
solid financial condition among the
people.

While sheep raising went so to the
bad, the production of other live
stock increased like this;
Sheep died I'M spite oI the thll

Sheep died In spite OF the thlcA
fleece of taxes that covered them.
The tariff schedule will not account
for everything in this world. There
are many other influences at work
more potent in their results. The
$145 each, which these same
sheep men were paid in impost taxes
did not keep the industry from decay.
The unprotected animals flourished
ont in the cold, while the protected
died.
We are tree to confess that the peo-
pie have not very greatly felt the
burthen of this tax on their coats and
blankets. The real point is the with
drawing OF so much money from cir
culation. The accumulation OF the
surplus should be stopped. And TO
do this we need not resort TO eStrava-
CANT measures. 1t can be done as
the President proposes and no man
know of the change. excepting as he
feels the quickening pulses OF trade to
result from more money in circula-
flor,

From letter received by Mr.. DOLL
man from his son in California, it is
learned that a cyclone destroyed the
greater portion of the improvements
at Riverside. Among the sufferers
were large number OF Kansas pee
pie, with several from Topeka. They
are all anxious to return to this State,
and will do so as soon as they can
gather together enough to do so.--
A Kansas exchange.
Well no, not very much OF a cy-
clone! Riverside is not qu.t9 de-
stroyed, nor need the relatives OF the
Jayhawkers who are in that delight
full place so into too deep mourning
for the absent members OF their fam
lilies. They still live.

The Thrift On Wool.

Wool is one of the raw materials on
which the Presidents message calls
for possibly total resembling OF the
tariff. While we confess that We
would prefer to see wool still pro-
tected, inasmuch as it is one of our
most important staples produced in
this State, yet even here we are
willing to meet the sophistries of the
extreme Protectionists. 1t is every
day more evident that the Republican
party was utterly insincere four years
ago, when it promised the people to
revise the tariff, in the event OF being
once more entrusted with the Gov
eminent. The true policy Of that
party is now discovered. 1t is to
keep up the enormous scale of taxes
called for as war measure. These
imposis protect the millionaire mon
opolies OF the country. These inter
ests are the mainstay of the Republi-
can party, and must be cared for
whatever that policy may cost the
people.
In relation to the tariff on wool and
its removal, two points are raised.
The first is the interest OF those en-
gagged in the production of wool.
The other is the interest of
the manufacturers. The num-
ber of sheep in the Union is about
AZ, 100000. The amount OF wool pro-
duced is about S25 100000 pounds.
Of this California produces about 35,-
0e0, 900 pounds, or nearly one eighth
of the whole crop. 1t is claimed that
there are 100000 persons interested in
this industry OF wool growing. There
are $1,000 persons of all ages and
sexes engaged in the manufacture Of
wool.
For the benefit of these lSS, 900 per-
sons, what duties are placed on wool
and its fabrics? The following table
gives the schedule for woolen manu-
factures:

The tax on the raw material is
vague when 1t is attempted to reduce
it to an dd rolorem basis. 1t is about
331s per cent OF the value OF the i'm
ports as they come in, but as it takes
nearly three pounds OF grease wool to
turn out one pound Of clean wool, the
protection is nearly one hundred per
cent OF the value of the commodity
when ready for the cards. The total
value OF all imports OF wool and
woolens last year was $40, 500.
On these imports the duties were
sN,274 ,527, Or an average of 81 % per
cent. This means that for every dol
lar's worth OF woolens purchased by
the people they had to pay $1.70. In
other words the people paid to each
of the $4,000 persons interested in
the growth of wool and its manufac-
ture the above total of taxes. 1t is to
be sure less than fifty cents per capita
of our population. 1t is not moro
than $3.50 per family. But it is
nearly s145 to each of the few in
terested in the industry.
Certainlythe tax is heavy enough
Surely if extreme protection is sc
beneficial to an industry as Mr.. Blaine
and his followers claim, wool and the
manufactures of it ought to be flourish
ing enterprises. Are they SO? They
are 1ot.' In this State the production
ofwool has fallen off from 60,000,00
pounds to little more than half that
quantity. This decadence of sheep
missing was going on rapidly before
the change was made in the tariff.
But we have to go to a State
whose development has pro-
gressed to point beyond what
Ours has reached to see how utterly
insffsctuaf extreme protection is to
